The Massachusetts Department of Transportation said the tunnel will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday so that maintenance and inspection teams can test the stability of the Sumner’s 2,400 wall panels.

Last weekend, the Callahan Tunnel was inspected after a wall panel fell into a lane of traffic a couple days earlier. The two tunnels have similar wall panel systems.

MassDOT said approximately 120 corroded panels were removed during the Callahan inspection.

The Sumner Tunnel, which was built in the 1930s, carries vehicles from East Boston/Logan Airport to downtown Boston. Drivers are encouraged to use the Interstate 90 Ted Williams Tunnel westbound or the Tobin Bridge inbound as alternate routes during the closure.
